What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 269: Ghost Blade's Identity

"Gao Yuman is pregnant?" Ye Tang was a little surprised to hear the news.

All members of the Gao family were arrested except Gao Yuman, not only because she was the Ninth Prince's Consort, but more importantly, she was pregnant.

The younger generation of the royal family had difficulty in having children. Except for the younger Princess Mingzhu and the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Princes, the rest were married but did not have many children. The Crown Prince had the most children, with one son and one daughter, while the rest had only one son or one daughter.

Prince Xian and Princess Xian have been married for several years, but they still have no children.

Therefore, Emperor Yuanwu attached great importance to his offspring.

Gao Yuman was very lucky. She got pregnant at this critical juncture, which meant she had a way to save her life.

Jamel Xiao rubbed his wrist and said, "Although she has not been arrested, she will not have an easy time. After giving birth to the child, she will be questioned."

The crimes committed by Gao Yi are too numerous to list in list. In addition, after the other members of the Gao family were arrested, many other serious crimes were discovered among them. When all the charges were added up, it would not be an exaggeration to kill not only one Gao family member, but even two Gao families.

"My ninth cousin insisted on protecting Gao Yuman and even wanted to plead for the Gao family, but he was severely punished by his uncle, the emperor. He and Gao Yuman were not allowed to leave the house until Gao Yuman gave birth to the child."

Ye Tang thought he had heard wrongly: "Is the Ninth Prince so stupid?"

What the Gao family has done is not a small mistake, it is a serious crime worthy of genocide. Anyone with brains would choose to cut ties with the Gao family. He is rushing to seek misfortune, which is simply courting death!

"He was infatuated with Gao Yuman and doted on her to the utmost. For this woman, his brain had long since melted into water."

Ye Tang said, "Love-brained."

Jamel Xiao thought the term "love-brain" was quite new: "We seem to be love-brained too."

Ye Tang raised his hand: "No, I am very sober. If anything happens to you, I will definitely be the first to run away. After all, husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they each fly away."

Jamel Xiao looked sad.

"My Lord, Princess, Captain Ye is here!"

"Please ask my father to come in." Ye Tang stood up happily.

Ye Peng served as a captain in the Huoyun military camp. Everyone said that he rose to the position with the help of his father, the Duke of Protectorate. However, Ye Peng was not angry at all. Instead, he was quite proud and complacent.

"I have a reliable father, do you have one? Be jealous, be envious, hahahaha!!"

Ye Peng was arrogant in Qingquan Village. Not only did he not restrain himself after coming to Beijing, but he became even more arrogant. A grown-up child with a father is so happy!

"My dear daughter!" Ye Peng shouted at the top of his voice as he came in: "Your father has been praised by the emperor again!"

"What did His Majesty praise you for?"

"He praised me for being brave, resourceful, and reliable. Oh my god, let me tell you, when those people who were jealous of me saw me being praised by the emperor, their faces turned ugly."

Ye Peng had not had a good rest these past few days. He had finally finished all the affairs of the Gao family and could go back home to rest, but he took advantage of the rest time to look for his daughter.

"Girl, are you pregnant?" Ye Peng said, then changed the subject and looked at Ye Tang's belly, with a hint of anticipation.

Ye Tang: "...not pregnant."

Jamel Xiao: "...I'm sorry, father-in-law, it's because your son-in-law didn't work hard enough."

The couple had been trying various methods, but they just couldn't get pregnant.

"Ah? You're not pregnant! Your honeymoon was really wasted!"

Ye Tang mentioned the word "honeymoon" to Ye Peng because Ye Peng wanted to hold his grandchildren.

"Dad, let's not talk about the child anymore. You came at the right time today. Your daughter will take you to see someone. See if you recognize him."

"Who?"

Ye Tang and the other person brought Ye Peng to Gui Dao.

The swelling on Gui Dao's face had subsided, but the bruises had not yet disappeared.

The moment he saw the ghost knife, Ye Peng's heart skipped a beat.

"You look so familiar to me?" Ye Peng moved closer to Ghost Blade.

There was a murderous aura on Gui Dao, but facing Ye Peng's approach, he was not disgusted at all: "You make me feel very strange."

He had never seen this old face before.

Ye Peng reached out and touched Gui Dao’s face.

The ghost sword instantly became murderous.

"You look a bit like my mother." Ye Peng said.

Ghost Blade: "...I am a man."

Ye Peng shook his face away: "I said it looks like it, but I'm not saying you are it."

Gui Dao took a deep breath, wanting to kill this bearded man.

Ye Peng has been very busy these days and has no time to take care of his beard, which is long and messy, and his hair is like a bird's nest.

"Dad, don't you know him either? But I heard him mention your name."

"When did I say that?" Ghost Blade denied.

Ye Peng said: "Your father's name is extremely famous in the capital, so it's no surprise that he knows about it."

"I'm not talking about Ye's name, but Shangguan's name." Ye Tang said.

Ye Peng was stunned, then looked at Gui Dao. Gui Dao was also looking at him, and there was confusion in both of their eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Peng's expression paused and his eyes fell on Gui Dao's eyebrows.

These eyes reminded him of someone.

"Uncle?"

Gui Dao's pupils shrank when he heard the voice.

Ye Peng suddenly turned around and rushed out.

"Dad, where are you going?" Jamel Xiao asked loudly.

Ye Peng replied without even turning his head: "Go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to find something. Keep an eye on him and don't let him run away."

Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan looked at each other, then looked at Ghost Blade in tacit understanding, and took action at the same time, taking out the rope and tying Ghost Blade to the bed.

"Let me go!" Gui Dao struggled and shouted.

This couple is mentally ill and always does nonsensical things.

Ye Tang said to him, "I tied you up to prevent you from escaping. Don't worry, I won't use you to test the needle."

Ye Peng hurriedly left the Prince of Pingshan's Mansion and rode back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. After entering, he went directly to Shangguan Zhenhua's study and found an old portrait.

Then Ye Peng rushed to Pingshan Palace, and when he walked out of the gate, he happened to meet Shangguan Zhenhua who had just returned from the palace.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Shangguan Zhenhua asked him puzzledly while riding on his horse.

Ye Peng jumped on his horse and said, "Dad, you came back at the right time. Come with me to meet someone."

Shangguan Zhenhua followed Ye Peng to the Pingshan Palace in confusion, and the two went straight to Guidao's residence.

Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan were still standing outside the door, eating melon seeds.

"Ruolin, slow down." Shangguan Zhenhua chased after Ye Peng.

Ye Peng rushed into the yard: "We can't slow down. We can't let him get away."

"Dad, Grandfather!" Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan stood up and called for help.

Ye Peng responded casually and pushed the door open and went in.

Shangguan Zhenhua panted heavily: "You don't even let me take a break. You want to tire an old man like me to death!"

He asked Ye Tang and the others in confusion: "What stimulated your father to bring me here in such a hurry?"

Ye Tang explained: "When my husband and I were capturing King Hong, we also captured a ghost-faced assassin."

"Ghost-faced assassin?" Shangguan Zhenhua's face changed drastically. "Why don't you just kill him? Keeping the Ghost-faced assassin alive will only cause endless trouble. No, why didn't you hand him over to the Dali Temple?"

Ye Tang said seriously, "Grandfather, the reason why I kept him is because there is something very familiar about this assassin. I can't really describe it, but you will know once you go in and take a look."

Shangguan Zhenhua's eyes flashed with suspicion: "Okay, I'll go in and see what's so special about him."

He walked in and saw Ye Peng with his back to him, staring at the person on the bed.

The person on the bed was dressed in black and red and was tied up. Only after he got closer could he see the person's face clearly.
